just wondering what are GM's numbers for front and rear lift parts, I see the RST sits about 3" higher than a LT 1500, what else is different

i have stock 2WD with Gov lock ,2016 LT truck, looking to do some gold prospecting and exploring here in California and AZ , so I travel lots of dirt roads, I'm scraping a lot in the ruts and need a 2-3" lift, but dont want to change my stock wheel tire combo

 

i noticed several new 2020 rst trucks sit much higher than mine and wonder if GM has done a lift on these vs My LT truck?

 

i do like the front camera option, as i can never see where i'm going when i round the top of a hill for decent..

I don't think you hit a nerve.

 

It seems to me from reading all of it that you walked into a lack of understanding as to why a T1 truck sits higher than your 2016 LT 2wd.  

 

Both trucks are nothing alike.  T1 is taller, longer, wider the frame sits a touch higher off the ground, etc.  Its apples to oranges.

Sure you did, your own.

 

You came in here with a complete misunderstanding of what you were even asking and then got defensive with some silly "pop off" remark that had nothing at all to do with your original question.  The comment made absolutely no sense to the topic at hand which meant you probably felt some insecurity about something and instantly went into "Defend and Justify" territory about your 2016 truck.   A nerve was definitely hit, but it was yours, and nobody knows why but you.  

 

I'm glad you enjoy your 2016, hopefully as much as we enjoy our T1's, and I also hope it serves you well.  In the end maybe you will learn more about it than what you currently know.  Good Luck.

Don't take credit for my accomplishments.  Clearly, I'm the one that hit your nerve.  All I did was speak truthfully.  You wanted the truth, but couldn't handle it.

sounds like your asking if a 2021 GM lift will fit your truck it wont, the back probably will but front probably wouldnt.........you can just buy same type of lift thru eibach, fox, bilstein to fit your truck......problem solved

 

they are basic strut lifts with block in the back.....nothing special

Lol.  That's, verbatim, exactly what I said in post #7 before you got your feelings hurt.

 

Egg is on your face now.  I think you owe everybody an apology.  I won't wait around to see it happen.  I doubt you'll do it.

 

Btw, I don't think the rear blocks, U-bolts, etc will work on the older trucks.  The T1xx frame is wider.

i never got my feelings hurt, thats the problem with forums, social media and texting, its hard to convey emotion. people take things the wrong ways due to lack of facial expresions or verbal emotions.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
